The sj24 I cut up was a 74. I repaired a cabin sole in another sj24 much like your sj. The balsa in the sole stiffens the hull from flexing. I ground out the old glass and balsa and resined in new balsa and covered with new glass. Robert in INdiana has that boat now and he can tell you if the repair held up.
